We have before the Court an appeal by Stephen Richard Spradling from a sentence pronounced December 11, 2002. No motion for new trial was timely filed. The notice of appeal was filed with the trial court on January 13, 2003, more than thirty days from the date sentence was imposed in open court. We notified the parties that the appeal did not appear to have been timely filed, but received no reply. The Court finds the notice of appeal was not timely filed. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2. No extension of time was timely requested pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. It does not appear that appellant obtained an out-of-time appeal. The Court finds it is without jurisdiction to entertain this appeal.

It is therefore ORDERED that the appeal of this cause be DISMISSED for want of jurisdiction.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
